Satellite A500 - my webcam does not work with Skype

I have a Satellite A500 with Windows 7 installed.
I installed the Skype Version 4.2.0.155 and well while installing, it seems acknowlegde built in webcam, when I try to test it that appears is a blue background.

I've searched forums and the problem may be due to compatibility between Windows 7 and Skype.

Has anyone else had this issue or know how to solve?

have you tried to reinstall a Skype web cam driver?
I also installed Skype 4.2 on my A500.and it works perfectly.

    Hello
    If Facebook does not recognize your webcam right away when you want to share a video, click on the eye for cameras new button.

    Your Adobe Flash Player settings will be displayed.
    On the tab, make sure you only select the right type of camera you use with your computer.

    On the tab, you may also need to 'allow' Facebook to access your camera and microphone.

    If your settings does not work, try to uninstall Adobe Flash Player on your computer and download the latest Flash Player.

  • Satellite A300-V01 - webcam does not work with msn

    Hi all

    I was wondering if there was someone out there who could help me...

    I recently bought an A300/V01 and try to use the web camm for it, but whenever I open it on his own (not with msn or any other program), it freezes and will not work, and when I try to send my web cam on msn it tells me that there is no connected webcam.
    I'm pretty computer illiterate so iv tried to fix it myself but sadly failed.

    so, if there is someone out there who knows how to fix it would be great if you could help...

    Thanks xoxo

    Go to the Toshiba website and to update the camera/Webcam driver.

    Also try closing/leave the camera software help.

    You should also install Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1), if it is not installed.

    And to ensure that upgrade to the latest version of MSN Messenger.

  • Satellite Pro L550 - Microphone does not work with Skype

    Hello

    I recently installed Skype on my laptop and I went through all the tests to make sure that I can hear and can be heard. My two speakers and microphone are working fine. However when I go to use Skype to chat with people they can not hear me but I can hear them. Any thoughts on what I can do?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey,.

    When you open Skype and go to tools > Options > Audio settings can you see a green bar volume when you say something?
    You selected the automatically adjust microphone settings?

    Usually, if you check this option Skype will adjust the Microphone automatically that other people can you hear you properly.

  • Satellite A300-1NO - webcam does not work, but the LED lights

    Hello!

    I have a laptop Satellite A300-1NO, with Win 7 installed. My problem is that my webcam does not work always, when I want to use it. Sometimes, it works perfectly in Skype, WLM etc... but sometimes I see a white or a black screen with a 'loading circle' in there. Blue is the LED light, I can see it in Device Manager too, but there is no picture, just 'loading '. I tried to uninstall the driver and then reinstall it, I installed the new "camera Assistant for Toshiba", without success.

    Is there any solution for this?

    > Is there any solution for this?
    I put t think there is solution for this. If I understand you right there is a problem with software pre-installed. It is not easy to say why this is happening.

    I have Satellite A300 too and use it with Win7 32 bit. Webcam works fine all the time.

    One more thing: have you noticed this problem in the first moments after installing Win7 or later?
    Have you installed something that may be the reason for this?

  • VN7 - 791G webcam does not work with Win10 app

    After the upgrade to Windows 10 in my VN - 791G, webcam does not work in the Windows 10 camera app.

    * The exact error message is in Swedish, but a rough translation is 'something was wrong. Please check that the unit is plugged and it is not used by another application". It was after I closed BTW Skype (see below).

    * The camera works in Skype.

    * Driver version is "Microsoft HD Webcam' 10.0.10240.16384, the last found through Windows update.

    I can't find any driver here in the Acer site.

    peterhjalmarsso,

    My suggestion would be to remove the installed drivers and install again to see if that solves it, this is clearly a driver issue because it works with another application. I also wonder if there may be an update for the application of the camera through the Windows store, maybe.
